This past weekend our Pepere' & Memere' came for a visit (that is French for Grandpa and Grandma). This would be my dad's dad and stepmom who live in the pretty state of Connecticut. :) Here they are with four grandchildren - Joey, Shayna, Matthew, and Brittany. (Matthew always makes a goofy face; he says he doesn't like posed pictures). ;)
They arrived early afternoon Sunday ... on Resurrection Day. Tony & I went to church that morning and then to a family get together at his parents house. I didn't get any pictures from there. Boo hoo. Lunch was great though and it's always fun watching our neices and nephews - they're growing so fast. We were at my parents house around 4pm. We ate a yummy dinner prepared mostly by dad & mom (pictured below). Then we stayed and chatted for a few hours. It was a nice visit.
Tony was the only one that had to work on Monday. :( My family came over our house for about an hour that morning. Then we went back to my parents house (it's real nice only living 4 miles apart). Pepere' & Memere' were buying a souveneir mug for each of our cousins back in CT ... one of them had broke, so I rode with them and my parents on the base to get a replacement mug. :) There were lots of laughs on the back seat.
When Tony got home from work, we all went out to eat at Pupetta's Italian Restaurant. Mmmm! Dad had called to make a reservation for 10 people. Joey & Chrissie arrived first and they said there was no reservation. No biggie; they just sat them down at a huge table that seats 14. We all arrived and gathered around the table ... after about 10 minutes dad gets a phone call from the restaurant, asking if he still wanted the reservation? Dad said, "We're already seated." There was confusion on both ends of the phone. Come to find out, dad had called the
old Pupetta's number which is now Illiano's Italian Restaurant. Ha! :)
After some yummy bread and pasta, and lots of talking, we said our goodbyes. This would be the last time we'd all be together on this visit. From there, Tony & I went to Sam's Club to pick up his
early birthday present ... an iPod Touch. We're both pretty impressed with all this little gadget can do!
How did we ever live without one?? ;)
Happy Birthday my love!!
Tuesday morning, Dad and I joined Pepere' & Memere' for breakfast at the Country Skillet. Pepere' and Dad had large cups of coffee; Memere' had a little; I had none. The guys enjoyed french toast with bacon (and eggs for Dad). Funny that they ordered the same thing. Since there are many miles between here and Connecticut, we do not get to see each other often. The last time they were here was for our wedding - almost four years ago. We did have a real quick visit with them last year about this time, when we went up for Laura's wedding. And I 'm looking forward to seeing them again in JUNE, when we go to attend Scott's wedding!
